About this restaurant

  • Hot spot
  • Lively
  • Good for special occasions
Inspired by the chic mid-century yacht culture of Southern Italy and the fresh flavours of the Pacific Northwest, we bring sun-drenched coastal flavours to Calgary.

Our dishes reimagine quintessentially Mediterranean fare with locally sourced West Coast ingredients. From zesty aperitifs, fresh crisp sides, bright mains and unashamedly indulgent desserts, each item on our menu will refresh your senses and transport you to a sunny boat deck on the Amalfi Coast.

    I do not know how they could have any negative reviews unless it was a one off personal experience. The food was amazing, reminded me of all the amazing dinners I had in Italy, we shared a bunch of small plates and crudos, the white sangria was light and refreshing, and the Lemon tart was like a key lime pie, crem brulee and cheesecake all in one. I don't think we left anything on the plate. This may be my new favorite place when we come visit Calgary!

    We stopped in for a light dinner prior to going to Vertigo Theatre on a Tuesday night. It was busy so reservations are recommended. The Calabrese Pizza & Parmesan Truffle Fries were excellent. Nice selection of appetizer snacks to share. Nice ambience...

    Hubby and I have been several time here. We’ve seen the sizes of the servings reduce drastically since 2024. We love the ambience and vibe, the food is great quality, but price/value has definitely declined.
